The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Everybody knows that our cities

Were built to be destroyed

Everybody knows that our cities

Were built to be destroyed

You get annoyed

You buy a flat

You hide behind the mat

But I know she was born to do

Everything wrong whith all of that

But I know she was born to do

Everything wrong whith all of that

Maria bethânia, please send me a letter

I wish to know things are getting better

Better, better, beta, beta

Bethânia, please send me a letter

I wish to know things are getting better

She has given her soul to the devil

But the devil gave his soul to God

She has given her soul to the devil

But the devil gave his soul to God

Before the flood

After the blood

Before you can see

She has given her soul to the devil

And bought her flat by the sea

She has given her soul to the devil

And bought her flat by the sea

Maria bethânia, please send me a letter

I wish to know things are getting better

Better, better, beta, beta

Bethânia, please send me a letter

I wish to know things are getting better

Everybody knows that it's so hard

To dig and get to the root

Everybody knows that it's so hard

To dig and get to the root

You eat the fruit

You go ahead

You wake up on your bed

But I love her face 'cause

It has nothing to do with all I said

But I love her face 'cause

It has nothing to do with all I said
